British Paper Lectures on the Second Amendment
From The Guardian:
…those seeking sensible gun regulation – like the 83% of Americans who support a mandatory waiting period for buying a gun and the 67% of Americans who agree with a ban on assault weapons – should not just accept the distortion of the second amendment as fact. Instead, they should loudly respond that gun regulation’s proponents, not the NRA, are the true defenders of the second amendment. In fact, both supreme court case law and the text of the second amendment itself support reasonable regulations on guns. As written, the constitution and the second amendment permit precisely the kind of regulation Congress should enact.
Student With Sign: Guns Don’t Kill People, Kicked Out Of School
From The Daily Wire:
On Wednesday, a student at a high school in Minnesota joined his classmates who were participating in the National School Walkout and was singled out and removed by his principal for holding a sign that said, “Guns Don’t Kill People, People Kill People.”
Bernie Surrounded By Armed Guards At Anti-gun Rally
From MSN.com:
A national school walk-out was held today by students protesting gun violence across the country, and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders joined students in DC marching on the U.S. capitol.
So did his armed guards.
Daniel Defense Reverses Course on FixNICS
From Daniel Defense:
Message from Marty Daniel:
Friends,
First and foremost, let me say that I have heard your voices. I put out a statement on Friday, supporting Senate Bill S.2135 also known as the Fix NICS Act. I have received overwhelming feedback since putting out this statement, which has brought to my attention that there are significant and justified concerns regarding this bill. I can no longer in good conscience put my support behind S.2135.
I released the original statement because I believed it was the best option available at this time to hold back the continued attacks on the Second Amendment and the erosion of our rights. I was wrong.
Opinion: VA Lawmaker’s “Offensive” Speech on the Second Amendment
From The Organic Prepper:
You may not have ever heard of Nick Freitas before, but I have a feeling we’ll all be hearing a lot about him soon. At first glance, this may seem very political, very Republican vs. Democrat.
It’s about people who got so upset about historic facts that they had to leave the room instead of engaging in a discussion.
Gun Control Trojan Horse

From Rep. Thomas Massie:
VA Lawmaker Defends Second Amendment
From The Daily Wire:
All eyes are suddenly fixed on Nick Freitas, a Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates, now that he’s ticked off a lot of Democrats with his powerful speech on guns that quickly went viral, raking in over 12 million Facebook views since Friday.
No Right To Sell Guns?
From Guns.com:
The U.S. 9th Circuit on Tuesday upheld an Alameda County law barring gun stores within 500 feet of residential properties in a blow to gun rights advocates.
The court held that local governments could regulate the sale of firearms so long as would-be buyers were still able to purchase them somewhere in the area and that the Second Amendment does not protect the ability to engage in gun sales.
The obvious question now is: Do you have a constitutional right to sell books?
Dangerous Legislation In The Works
UPDATE: YouTube has pulled the video because it discusses the legislation to ban bump stocks. There are no bump stocks in the video at all but because the topic is not in line with gun controllers at YouTube they shut it down. They are hiding behind their “Terms and Conditions”.
From Military Arms Channel:
Gun Sale Spikes After Shootings
From CNN:
The demand for guns jumped in Newtown after the shooting. Assault rifles began selling out across the country amid fears of tighter gun control legislation. Similar spikes in gun sales followed tragedies in Orlando and San Bernardino, and stock in gun companies surged. Now, research in California suggests that the closer people are to a mass tragedy, the greater the impact on gun sales.
Media Hysteria Over Guns
From Fox News:
“Guns and the media†called print journalists to account for guest columns that appeared in two different newspapers. In the St. Louis American, a weekly paper distributed in the St. Louis metro area, a guest columnist wrote, “Gun owners love their guns more than they love their children.â€Â This is a demonstrably false generalization that a good editor would have refused to print. Instead of allowing this blanket insult towards millions of law abiding American gun owners the editor should have worked through the writing process to assist the writer to honestly present a perspective about children killed in separate incidents around the country.
NRA Carry Guard: Self Defense Insurance
About Carry Guard:
An armed encounter is likely to be the most stressful moment of someone’s life. We can do our best to avoid trouble, but bad things sometimes happen to good people. That’s why right behind your firearm, your second most important protection is a rock-solid carry policy.
NRA Carry Guard is a two-pronged program. It was created to provide insurance coverage to those who legally defend themselves with a firearm, and to offer an elite, one-stop training option. The insurance provides a comprehensive set of benefits and protection that will help spare gun owners from costly financial and legal consequences, even if they did everything right. The training was developed by an expert team of military and law enforcement veterans and focuses on the unique legal, mental and physical circumstances you must be prepared to face after pulling the trigger.
Upholding “Assault Weapon” Ban Could Backfire
From The Federalist:
The Supreme Court has refused to hear “assault weapon†cases in the past. However, previous cases were lower profile and the result of narrow readings, not the backwards interpretation exhibited in Kolbe. In its bravado, the Fourth Circuit may have crossed a bridge too far, sparking national debate and possibly forcing the issue to finally make it to the Supreme Court.
The Kolbe court justified their holding through a misplaced reliance on Heller’s discussion of weapons not protected by the Second Amendment: “dangerous and unusual weapons†and those “most useful in military service – M-16 rifles and the like.†This reliance was completely out of context, most obviously because the M-16 and its stablemates are machine guns, not in common lawful use by civilians anywhere. This is a far cry from the pedestrian semi-automatic weapons Maryland actually targeted.
North Dakota Passes Constitutional Carry
From Guns.com:
House Bill 1169 codified the right of those with a North Dakota drivers’ license or state-issued ID card to carry a concealed handgun. The bill passed the House last month 83-9 and the Senate this week 34-13. Burgum, who carried an “A†rating from the National Rifle Association during his election campaign last year, contends the measure reaffirms Second Amendment rights.
